Monday's Super Secret Surprise Fieldtrip, as long advertised on our May calendar, is finally upon us. Monday, May 15th, after morning elective, we are headed to a Yoga studio in North Cherry Creek (http://www.cherrycreekyoga.com/); we will be guided through an hour-long mediation exercise connected to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and followed by a tea ceremony.

After a short lunch at the Noodle Company, near the studio, we will trek north to visit the Botanical Gardens. Students will be back on campus to attend their afternoon electives. The cost of the trip is $14 ($8 for the Yoga workshop, $6 for lunch); DA will pay the Botanical Garden fee. Thanks,
